Published : Destination Weddings & Honeymoons Magazine

Greetings beautiful people :)

It is with great excitement that I announce the inclusion of Kathy & Rob's Puerto Vallarta Wedding in the 'I Do, I Do' section of the July Issue of Destination Weddings and Honeymoons Magazine. The issue is available nationwide at all major booksellers through the end of August. If you happen into Barnes & Noble with some time to kill - grab yourself a Caramel Frap and give the issue a once over...it features fantastic photos and could prove handy if you happen to be planning a wedding in a far-off place. ...or anywhere really ...or if you like palm trees. ...or luaus. ...or boat drinks :)

A million thank you's are not enough to send to Mr. Joe Cogliandro of J. Cogliandro Photography. It was honor enough to have the opportunity together, but to share this publication is a cherry on top of a cherry cheesecake. Joe - for your trust, respect and friendship I am forever grateful. Let's do it again homeboy!

Kathy & Rob - You guys...ahhh...what can I say!?!? The B-E-S-T! This is a fitting tribute to an amazing couple who understand and value the significance that photography plays in our lives. Your patience, respect, enthusiasm and love mean everything and I am so happy for you guys!!!

Here are a few snaps of the snaps in the July/August issue of Destination Weddings & Honeymoons Magazine.

Erin & Kyle : Galloway, NY Wedding

Greetings Friends :)

Here I sit...one hand on the keyboard the other scratching my head. It's not that I have nothing to say...that is hardly ever the case. What's baffled me is that yet again I have been invited to indulge in the essence of two truly incredible people. Erin & Kyle, thank you for granting this enormous privilege...so freely and without reservation. Kelli and myself are eternally grateful for your acceptance, trust and faith. We hope that these images are a testament to the people that you are, the bond that you share and all of those who support you in your new life together.

Here are a few of my favorites from:

Allison & Biagio - Buffalo, NY Wedding Images

Greetings Dear Friends :)

I am so excited to share these images...what a perfect way to spend a weekend!

A few weeks back, Kelli Marsh and I had the pleasure of bearing witness to the magical union of Allison and Biagio in historic Buffalo, NY. It was an amazing day spent with amazing folks - all anchored by and revolving around two people whose connection is undeniably pure.

Thank you Allison & Biagio, for opening your lives to us...for inviting us to share in your most special day with your most important people. It was an honor and a privilege. ...and thank you to the wildly talented Kelli Marsh for once again emptying the tank. Your contributions are a wonder to behold.

I sincerely hope that you enjoy a few snippets from:

west:coast:ramblings :: San Francisco Photographs

Hello Friends :)

I recently happened upon this John Lennon quote:

"Los Angeles?? That's just a big parking lot where you buy a hamburger for the trip to San Francisco."

Now I've never lived on the west coast but I've had the good fortune of traveling extensively throughout. I kind of get where John was coming from...but perhaps I just haven't had enough experience with the two places. I invite one and all to help me to compare and contrast these two great cities.

In the meantime, feast on a few images from a recent trip through the great city of San Francisco.








The above comes courtesy of Miss Kelli Marsh (www.kellimarsh.com). Nice, huh??



Particularly busy times have kept me away from the blogsphere more often that I'd like lately. If you're still swinging in to visit, I appreciate your continued good vibes. Be well good people. I will do my best to come around more often :)

Hunter's Hope Foundation :: Rochester, NY Event Photography

"It's been written that the trademark of my career was toughness. The toughest person I ever met in my life was my son, my hero, Hunter. I love you, buddy."

-Jim Kelly - Pro Football Hall of Fame Induction Speech : 2002

Shortly after his birth in 1997, Hunter Kelly - son of NFL Quarterback Jim Kelly & author/activist Jill Kelly - was diagnosed with Globoid-Cell Leukodystrophy (Krabbe disease) - a rare, degenerative disorder of the Central Nervous System. Eight years later the disease would claim his life, but not the fire that continues to burns bright in the hearts and minds of those whose lives he touched. In honor of his strength and in the hopes of raising World-wide awareness of the fight against Krabbe disease, the Kelly Family established The Hunter's Hope Foundation in 1997. Through it's efforts, the Foundation aims to provide hope to struggling families and to bring about legislation that mandates the screening of newborns for all possible diseases.

The following are images gathered from the recent Hunter's Hope Candlelight Ball at the Radisson Hotel in Downtown Rochester. The event was meticulously planned and executed - and good times were had by all. Most importantly, it was brought to life by the many volunteers, vendors and attendees who gave so generously of their time and means to something bigger than themselves. It was an honor to participate in such an amazing effort.
